Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ScanCoin at 4.7 against TapID's 4.0. ScanCoin also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (8.5K vs 4). TapID's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and in-app purchases (none vs 8). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScanCoin sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. TapID asks for nothing beyond the download.
ScanCoin holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScanCoin has 8.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of ScanCoin's written reviews are positive against 100% of TapID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ScanCoin ships an update every 4 days, TapID every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
